Sorry, I think we are using the term 'technology' in a different ontological context.

I like the brief description "Technology: the methods for using scientific discoveries for practical purposes".

I.e. how to apply accrued knowledge practically.

The opposites to technology-based problem solving would be trial-and-error, political or ideology based mandates, etc.

This does not exclude adaption, nor does it mandate a hierarchical organization to implement the technolgy.

Is trial-and-error outside science? Or do you mean a uniform prior distribution for trial-and-error?

Uh, in this case trial and error as an option to a situation where a solution is already generally known.
